60. Drabble: Home Is Where the Heart Is
Title: Home Is Where the Heart Is
Author: itwaslovetome
Theme: Dwellings/Home
Notes: grayskyblue betaed. Many thanks.
Ethan’s apartment building was old and echoed. Justin could hear everything everyone said in there, with one exception: When Ethan chased him out into the hallway and down the stairs shouting “Justin!” and “I love you!” over and over again. Justin heard only his own footsteps, felt only his own heartbeat. Steady rhythms in the chaos.
The first night Justin spent back at the loft, the air was cool and crisp. This time, when someone called out “Justin!” he heard it loud and clear. And in the silence afterward, their entwined limbs and uneven breathing spoke unmistakable “I love yous.”
